A local woman was arrested Monday for the fourth time on the same 2012 OWI charge after she failed to show up in court and twice failed to comply with the rules of a pretrial release program.

Brittany Nicole Gonsoulin, 22, was arrested in Crowley Monday by deputies with the Lafayette City Marshal's Office with assistance from Crowley authorities after someone recognized her on the "Holding Accountable" program broadcast on Acadiana Open Channel, Marshal Earl Picard said.

She has been released on a $1,000 bond, Picard said today. His deputies will have to track her down again to serve her with the notice to appear in court.

Monday was the fourth time Gonsoulin was arrested on the same charge of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Gonsoulin was originally arrested on July 24, 2012, by a Lafayette police officer. Several attempts to serve her with a notice to appear in court for arraignment on Jan. 8, 2013, were unsuccessful, Picard said in a news release. A bench warrant was issued for her arrest.

On March 1, 2013, Gonsoulin was arrested in Opelousas with the help of St. Landry Parish authorities. Picard said it cost his office — and taxpayers — $343 to bring her back to Lafayette.

A month later, the City Court charge against Gonsoulin was dismissed so that she could participate in the 15th Judicial District Attorney's Office pretrial diversion program, Picard said.

When Gonsoulin failed to comply with conditions of the diversion program, the OWI charge was filed again in City Court on July 1, 2013, and an arrest warrant was issued, he said.

In September, Gonsoulin was arrested for the third time in Alexandria with the help of Rapides Parish law enforcement authorities. She was returned to Lafayette by Picard's office, again at taxpayers' expense.

A request was made for Gonsoulin to participate in the Sheriff's rehab program and on Oct. 15, she was released on her own recognizance, he said.

Once again. Gonsoulin did not meet the requirements of the pretrial diversion program and charges were filed again on Feb. 27, Picard said. An arrest warrant was filed on March 5, but Gonsoulin could not be located at the Alexandria address she gave the court, he said.

On Monday, a viewer watching "Holding Accountable" provided information about Gonsoulin's whereabouts in Crowley and she was again arrested, Picard said.

Picard previously has told The Daily Advertiser that his office frequently spends taxpayer money chasing down offenders multiple times after they are repeatedly released by the courts on diversion programs, treatment programs and bond. Usually, his office is not allowed by the courts to recoup those funds.

City Marshal Earl Picard's "Holding Accountable" show that displays photos and names of people wanted by his office is broadcast from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Mondays and Fridays on Acadiana Open Channel.
